Hello,
It's been hellish hot in Japan this year and the location of this job, just a little south of Tokyo, was no different. It was an interesting few days though, enough to inspire me to try a little write up about it, which I'll post a link to. The system was something that i've played...
Hi,
I am entering the quagmire of dual systems, and reaping rewards. Like it or loathe it, it undeniably enhances work positioning safety. The retailer ODSK and I have been banging the drum, running workshops about anchoring safety, for a good while. And taking those ideas I decided to run...
@Mark Chisholm is this OK to post?
Very happy to announce 'pre-sales' sales of the 'KIYARI' chainsaw protection trousers. They are designed and sold in Japan. A lightweight, climber inspired design, European(Class 1) and real world tested. A unique design that are amazing to move in. The...
Size 2 TREEFLEX harness for sale. This was taken from a British retailers dead stock last year for my ever growing harness collection. Unused. Make me an offer. Shipping from Japan.
TRT Online Session
**Calling all rope nerds**
I will run a ZOOM session about using two small lines in one device (could be two devices!), made famous by Johnny Pro and it was he who called it the Twin Rope Technique. (Thanks JP ). TRT offers benefits from both Stationary and Moving Rope...
Maruichi recently spent two weeks in central Tokyo working for Japan Rail. It is the first time that treework has been allowed in the day time and we had to be careful in our approach to removing and extracting eight trees.

Hello all,
I have begun a series of Rope workshops and am interested in acquiring historically relevant climbing gear that can be used for talking points.
Anything pre Frog Walker is missing from my collection. I'd love to have a set of Mar Bar's....Chest Roller....Sticht Plates.....any open...
Hello,
Though this is too far for most I thought I would share it as the contents are unique and the location beautiful.
Two years ago I promised to organise another week long Arborist workshop in Mie (Japan) and I am happy to introduce the contents to you now. The idea of this workshop is to...
Here is a link for a recent article I wrote for ODSK..http://www.works-odsk.jp/original93.html
The two video links are in Japanese but anyway you can see the gear and the way they are packed.
I am completely won over by Mystery Ranch, the quality of design, material and workmanship is second to...
This rail has been closed since 2011, as the land slid it hit a passing train, incredibly scary stuff for the passengers though luckily nobody had major injuries. The train still sits there as it holds the hillside in place and this year we went in to remove around 150 trees as part of the...
